Tom's Cat
-
Hey Nizmo, looking nice. How are you planning to handle the tomcat’s swept wing…? Does BMS have the code to handle it automatically, or is there a call-back you may have to use to manually change their position?
Yes, the FM takes care of this. I’m not sure about the manual sweep, although it is “Factory” to have manual sweep, I will try.
-
Ok, so the FM can control the model and automatically sweep the wings fore and aft depending on the airspeed? Cool beans.
-
The FM seems very nice as for the F-14A one I was allowed to fly around with.
Now we need the pit as flying a default Falcon Tomcat pit equals to visual pain. -

The problem is the aerodynamics. The FM handles as the F-14 that wing sweep is just an animation and FM data is set or designed to be set as the wing sweep settings is always optimal. So if you override this with manual wing position the result would be very strange for ex a supersonic F-14 with minimal wing sweep setting…

it is going to be so awesome to fly a full 3-d pit tomcat. and the work done on it is amazing and gargantuan and i thank you so much.
one thing, i think we discussed it before and maybe you said you were fixing it, but these panel angles….should the edge of the panels not be more parallel like so? (very faint dotted line)
]Ill get some new renders up, but I have re-aligned those console parts.
There is an angle to the side consoles and front panel that is hard to re-create. The side consoles are spread further apart at the front and closer aft. I will get it correct.

I would happily try and test in my MOD this cockpit.

Ahhh that warm fuzzy feeling when looking at a Turkey pit! I guess i better step up on that FM

About a week out from Beta testing. I will PM the guys to fly.
Please get the FM ready for the B.
-
I should have it ready by Monday night. Both the FM and AFM. Not many thing remain to mod, except some supersonic performance tweaks.
-
Da*n it! Next week I’m on job vacation. Argh.

Great !!
I hope 3D external model will be same
-
impressive…???
-
Looking great there Nizmo. Can’t wait to get my hands on this beautiful aircraft. How soon will the beta be ready?
-
That canopy is looking beautiful, even if it’s not perfect yet. If you have access to the F-14D cockpit, are you thinking of integrating the common assets? This would include the canopy frame, as well as any details with the wings and tail. If it’s done once, and done right, you won’t have to do any more work (at least for a long time) on any F-14; rather, it will just be a matter of switching out panels and displays.

Engine Pod for new model

Can anyone tell me why almost all my flickr pictures turned invisible/not available in all threads? I set the pics to public, the ones I post now work but all others are gone even though they are exactly where they were in my flickr.
